Google's latest smartphones — the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL — start to ship this October, and our first impressions are very positive. The phones have better cameras and better designs. The XL has an edge-to-edge display with a notch, just like the iPhone XS.

To help owners get the most out of these new Google phones, we put together a list of eight useful accessories, from a great wireless charging pad to a protective case. None of them cost more than $50 since you will have already spent a good chunk of change on the phone itself.

1/

An external battery pack that recharges your phone quickly

External battery packs make it easy to recharge your phone while you're away from an outlet, and AUKEY's 10000mAh Power Bank is the best option for Google Pixel 3 owners. The battery holds enough power to fully refill the phone's battery a couple of times, but more importantly, this power bank can charge it as its maximum 18W charging speed.

2/

A cheap pair of Bluetooth earbuds that sounds good

Google designed the Pixel 3 phones without headphone jacks, so you'll have to use the USB-C headphones that come with the phone, or go wireless. I highly recommend the iFrogz Impulse Duo, which looks, feels, and sounds excellent for a $30 pair of earbuds.

3/

A fast wireless charging pad

The Pixel 3 works with hundreds of wireless charging pads, but Anker's PowerWave 7.5 is one of the few that can charge it at its fastest wireless charging speed. Wireless charging still takes longer than cable charging, but this pad significantly reduces the time difference.

A protective case to prevent scratches and dents

The Pixel 3 has a glass back, so you'll want to protect it from damage from a durable case. The Spigen Rugged Armor Case is made out of a shock-absorbing thermoplastic polyurethane, which should be enough to protect the Pixel 3's delicate glass back. The case also has a raised lip that extends over the phone's display to prevent its screen from shattering in the event of a spill.

A car mount to hold the Pixel 3 while you drive

The iOttie One Touch is a suction cup-style phone mount that attaches to your car's dashboard or windshield. Your phone is held securely in place by plastic "arms" so it won't fall out if you hit a bump or stop short. The mount's angle is adjustable for easy viewing at whatever angle is most safe and convenient for the driver.
